For my cards today I am using the gorgeous Gerbera Background Stamp from the release. I’m showing two different ways to add color to a background stamp.
For the first one, I did a super simple ink blend over each flower. Using the small and the detailed brushes from Simon Says Stamp. With the detailed brush I even did a little flick to get the color out to each of the petals. Trimmed it down by 1/8 inch on all sides and adhered to a standard card base. For the sentiment I used the previously released Giggle Thank You Wafer die.
With my second card I went more dramatic and used my copics. I used three shades for each color and went in with a flicking motion. Once the flowers were all colored I went in with the Copic 100 and filled in the open spaces. Trimmed in down and matted with black card stock and added the previously released Giggle Hello Die for the sentiment.
